You’re arguing with a pro-lifer, just so you know, and I will reiterate, again, that I do not heartily endorse abortion under any means, only to retain the right - for a human female victim - under this circumstance - in the immediate aftermath of the crime. You still refuse to acknowledge you’re endorsing using coercive state means to force a victim to do what YOU want them to do, not what is necessarily best for their own physical and psychological well-being, and putting rapist’s sperm ahead of a fully developed human being. Now, if she were seeking to get rid of a VIABLE fetus, months into gestation, you’d have a different response from me, because it has gone too far, but a clump of cells hours after the crime with some acting as if you’re butchering a fully-developed infant is patently ludicrous.
How will we get substantial pro-life legislation passed (and the execrable Roe overturned) if some of you insist on ramming a non-negotiable, under-no-circumstances poison pill into it that the bulk of the public will simply not support, let alone legislators ? You guys give the radical abortionists ammo here by making the rights of a crime victim secondary or without importance at all, don’t you see that ?
You can call yourself a “pro-lifer” all your want. But all your tactics are out of the pro-abort’s playbook.
I am not asking the government to coerce anyone to do anything, I am asking the government to protect the life of a human being.
Calling a developing human being “the rapist sperm” is really typical of what all the pro-aborts do, denigrate the value of the baby by pretending it’s not a human being, just a clump of cells or a sperm.
Well, it’s neither, it’s a human being. Whom you think it’s okay to kill. I don’t. Even in difficult circumstances.
Does that mean that if a comprise were to be made where abortion is outlawed with the rape exception, would I be in favor of it over the status quo? Of course. That would represent a major victory for the pro-life cause. Political compromises are sometimes made for the greater good. But I will never compromise the principle. If a woman who was raped have an abortion, it is still murder, and it is still wrong.
